Miss Qiao
"Jing Rong, you know I can't ignore this case. If you had a way, why didn't you tell me? Just think of it as helping me. I know you think I'm too headstrong and that I'm just looking for trouble, but I can't ignore it. If I don't care about anything just because I'm with you, Jing Rong, I can't do it. The person standing in front of you right now isn't the Ji Yunshu you know. And … do you still like me like this? "
Ji Yunshu questioned.
Her eyes reddened as she spoke.
Jing Rong's chest trembled, and his hands trembled.
At this moment, he felt that he was the most selfish person in the world.
"Yunshu …" He opened his mouth.
"Say it! What is that method? "
Jing Rong felt depressed and said, "If the Supreme Court refuses to accept it, the only way … is to appeal to the Imperial Court and beat the imperial drum outside the northern gate."
The imperial drum!
Ji Yunshu had heard that if a case couldn't be handled by the various prefectures, they could only beat the imperial drum. And if they wanted to beat the imperial drum, they had to endure forty strokes of the cane.
No wonder Jing Rong had such a big reaction when the capital governor said it!
Seeing that Ji Yunshu was showing signs of wanting to do it, Jing Rong firmly said, "This method is forbidden by this Prince. You better listen carefully. If you dare to do it, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."
After saying this, he left.
Ji Yunshu was left standing in the same place for a long time. She blankly stared at the painting on the stone table that Jing Rong had destroyed.
Her hands tightly gripped her robe that was blown up by the wind.
That day, she kept thinking about this matter. Her heart was heavy, and she didn't rest for the whole night.
The next day.
She changed her clothes and was about to go out, but she bumped into Ji Wanxin at the door. She saw that Ji Wanxin was holding an exquisite food box and stopped her.
"Yunshu, I brought you some of your favorite pastries. I haven't made them for a long time. I don't know if you like them."
She stuffed the food box into Ji Yunshu's bosom as she spoke.
Ji Yunshu called a maidservant and handed the box to her. She turned to Ji Wanxin and said, "I have to go out for a while. I can't chat with you."
"Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry? "
"I have something to do."
"I'll go with you." Ji Wanxin took the initiative and held her arm intimately.
The little girl at the side glanced at him and consciously averted her gaze.
I didn't expect Teacher Ji to be so open to both men and women!
Ji Yunshu couldn't push him away. Thinking that she was only going to the inn, she didn't bring him along.
The two of them arrived at an inn.
As soon as he stepped in, he heard a crackling sound coming from inside.
The first floor of the inn was a mess. The floor was littered with broken plates, wine, and food.
When he looked inside, he saw a girl smashing things aggressively, and all those things were smashed on a woman.
The woman lying on the ground lowered her head. Her messy hair covered her pale face. In the face of such humiliation, she did not resist. She hugged the yellowed bag in her hands tightly and did not move.
And wasn't that woman Aunty Xie?
Just as Ji Yunshu was about to step forward, Ji Wanxin pulled her back.
"Yunshu, mind your own business."
Aunty Xie shook her head at Ji Yunshu with a frightened expression.
Just as Ji Yunshu was about to push her away, she heard the high-pitched voice of the woman smashing things inside.
"I didn't expect you to have the face to come to the capital. Your daughter worked in a brothel and was filthy to begin with. It was her fortune that my big brother took a liking to her, but she failed to live up to his expectations and committed suicide with poison. You even accused my big brother of killing your daughter. How shameless! The case has already been closed, so why are you still here?"
The woman finished speaking and poured the entire pot of wine in her hand on Aunty Xie's body.
The crowd sighed in silence.
"Your daughter deserved it. How can a brothel girl hope to be innocent?"
Aunty Xie finally couldn't bear it anymore. She raised her reddened eyes and firmly said, "My daughter didn't commit suicide. That bastard killed her."
Slap!
Unexpectedly, the woman bent down and raised her hand, ruthlessly slapping Aunty Xie's face.
The innkeeper couldn't stand it anymore and came over to persuade her. "Miss, don't make a scene here."
"Get lost." She swung her hand. "Do you know who I am?"
"I do. Who doesn't know Miss Qiao? But this woman was arranged to stay here by the capital governor, so …"
"Enough! Don't you want money?" She fished out a gold ingot from her embroidered pouch and threw it at the innkeeper. "Take it, it's enough to buy your entire inn. But you better listen to me, no woman is allowed to stay here. Otherwise, I'll tear your entire inn apart."
The innkeeper put the gold ingot in his mouth and bit it. After confirming it was real, he quickly bowed.
"Yes, yes, yes." She turned around and ordered the waiter, "Hurry, throw her out."
The waiter could only do as he was told. He dragged Aunty Xie up from the ground and planned to throw her out of the inn. The customers on both sides of the street also quickly dispersed to make a path.
However, he was blocked by Ji Yunshu at the door.
"Make way, make way."
The waiter said in a bad mood.
Ji Wanxin pulled on the corner of her robe to remind her to move.
She reached out and helped Aunty Xie, who was being held by the waiter, to her side. She immediately took off her robe and covered Aunty Xie's soaked body with it. Aunty Xie, who was being held by the waiter, was soaked in wine.
Aunty Xie lowered her head, her body trembling.
"It's fine now," Ji Yunshu whispered in her ear.
The woman saw this and walked over, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. She pushed aside the two waiters and pointed at Ji Yunshu. "Who are you? How dare you stand in my way."
Ji Yunshu coldly glanced at her, then handed Aunty Xie over to Ji Wanxin. "Take good care of her," she whispered.
Ji Wanxin was stunned for a moment, but she still took Aunty Xie and walked to the side.
"Let go of that stinky woman."
The woman stepped forward to grab Aunty Xie, but Ji Yunshu grabbed her wrist and flung her away.
"Miss Qiao, is it? Let me give you a piece of advice. Before things get worse, it's best to know when to stop. "Ji Yunshu's tone was cold and imposing.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in my affairs?"
"You don't need to know who I am. If you dare to touch her again, I will send you to the magistrate."
The woman wasn't afraid at all.
Instead, he laughed coldly and pointed a finger at himself. "Send me to see the official? Young Master, do you have the ability? "
Ji Yunshu sneered. "You can try! I guarantee that you will be imprisoned until you admit your mistake. "
